Chapter 105 104. Tong Yuyue: How can a master and a disciple behave so recklessly? (Subscribe!)
I saw Pi Taiyu looking angry.
He glared at Ning Mu and scolded him, "Now people's livelihood is in decline, and the price of grain is high. The victims are already afraid to buy it and have no money. But you are raising the price by 30%. Six coins a pound of coarse grain, do you think it is some kind of rare treasure?"
"I thought that since you are a disciple of the Ye Liu Clan, the Ye Liu Clan would still have some compassion, but you are so vicious. Do you want to watch hundreds of thousands of disaster victims die outside the city?"
Pi Taiyu glared at Ning Mu.
He was just short of pointing at my nose and scolding me.
Although he was incompetent, greedy and lustful during his tenure, he still had a bit of kindness in his heart at this moment.
Looking at the disaster victims outside, he felt a little bit sorry for them.
Ning Mu's previous words touched his heart. If the disaster victims were not handled properly, they would indeed easily become scapegoats and be held accountable by the court.
It's even an understatement.
Once something happens, it is definitely not a crime of dereliction of duty.
Confiscation of property and execution are all possible!
But he was helpless in saving so many victims without any relief food.
But when he heard Ning Mu's words this moment, he was really angry!
However, He Daqian was delighted when he heard that the price was going to increase, and his little eyes rolled around.
But seeing that the governor was so angry, he didn't want to interrupt.
"Hey, what's going on? I just went out for a while, why are you so tense?"
"Xiao Mu, please speak to the governor nicely!"
Just in time.
Tong Yuyue went and came back. Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not right, she choked and then hurriedly tried to smooth things over with a smile.
"I don't want to talk to such a scoundrel!"
"Ye Liu, goodbye!"
At this time.
Without waiting for Ning Mu to explain, Pi Taiyu snorted coldly, stood up and was about to leave.
"Komaki!"
Liu Qingmei was also anxious!
However, Ning Mu looked very calm. He raised his head and said calmly, "The price of grain has risen. Foreign grain merchants will flock here because they see that it is profitable."
"Compared to the past, the price of grain is nearly ten times higher. With such a huge profit, President He, if it were you, would you miss it?"
He Daqian was stunned. He didn't expect that he had something to do with this.
But after listening to Ning Mu's words, he raised his head and glanced at Pi Taiyu who had just stood up, and then said firmly as if he was risking everything: "With 20% profit, I can be brave; with 50% profit, I can take risks; with 100% profit... I am not afraid of the guillotine!"
"Sir Governor, this is the nature of merchants pursuing profit!"
Ning Mu smiled calmly and looked at Pi Taiyu.
He Daqian looked embarrassed and a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to get angry.
Don't tell anyone that the governor is here.
Ning Mu has the leverage over him, how dare he act recklessly?
If he says one more word about Pi Taiyu's concubine, he will be killed without a burial place!
“Even so, how can the disaster victims profit if food prices remain high?”
Pi Taiyu finally couldn't bear it anymore.
His expression relaxed somewhat, but his tone remained gloomy.
"The next thing will require the intervention of the governor and President He."
"Please take a seat, sir, and listen to my detailed narration."
Wait until Pi Taiyu sits down again.
Liu Qingmei and Tong Yuyue both breathed a sigh of relief.
Tong Yuyue didn't dare to leave.
She would sit at the door and help at the first time if anything was needed.
Liu Qingmei nervously held Ning Mu's hand.
Ning Mu smiled calmly, gently pinched her soft hand, scratched her palm, and then said: "During this period, a certain amount of food is needed to supply the victims so that they will not starve to death, but just giving out porridge is not enough."
“But we can provide work-for-relief!”
“Credit for work?”
Pi Taiyu frowned, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes, and a hint of enlightenment seemed to flash across his brows.
Ning Mu also started to explain.
"I passed by the prefect's mansion a few days ago and saw that it was a bit old. Why don't you recruit workers in the name of the government to renovate the mansion? The wages won't be too high. Just two meals a day and a few dozen extra coins. I think there will be a lot of people willing to do it!"
"This renovation is not limited to the government offices and mansions. The governor can put pressure on us, and President He can take the lead. Labor is the cheapest now. If we don't build new buildings and renovate mansions now, when will we do it?"
"To be honest with you two, I have bought Hua Man Pavilion and renamed it Yi Chun Yuan. I have always wanted to recruit workers to build two more Cang Jiao Towers on the banks of Qin Tang River. However, the government has been slow to issue a ban, so free workers from outside cannot come in, and the workers in the city are too expensive, so it has been delayed..."
"By the way, isn't the Feast of the Holy Sepulchre coming up soon?"
"I suggest that the governor, in the name of the government, extend the activities of this Holy Festival to one month, or even two months!"
“Not just extend it, but make it a grand event!”
"Poetry, singing, dancing, dragon boat racing, all kinds of competitions will be held in turn. In addition, the brothels will also select the most beautiful girls. Not only the most beautiful girls in one building, but also the most beautiful girls in the entire Yonghang Prefecture!"
"We can ask all the big families, or businesses, to invest in various activities this time. The government can exempt the top three or first place in taxes for a certain period of time. The governor will decide how long this will last. These businesses can also take this opportunity to spread the word and let more people know about the goods they sell. This will kill two birds with one stone."
"What do you think, Lord Governor?
Upon hearing Ning Mu's words, Pi Taiyu and He Daqian were shocked.
He Daqian's shock came from anger.
This boy is so fucking cruel!
He is not a fool.
On the contrary, after listening to it, he figured out who was the victim in the whole process!
It's yourself!
It’s the grain merchants headed by himself!
It’s the businessmen represented by themselves!
Be it the Saint's Day activities, work-for-relief, or driving up grain prices...the only ones who have to pay the price behind all these means are the wealthy grain merchants!
It can be said that grain merchants are the ones who have been cheated the most among all of them!
He Daqian couldn't help but feel angry, but he didn't dare to show it!
This boy is an enemy, he must not be allowed to stay!
At this moment, He Daqian felt a strong desire to kill Ning Mu!
Pi Taiyu was shocked because such measures could provide disaster relief without the court officials having to pay anything.
As for what to do next, he already knew it.
Being able to be the governor of a prefecture, he is not a fool. After a little thought, he knew what to do next.
Work-for-relief and the grand celebration of the Holy Festival can directly or indirectly help the victims recover quickly. After that, the grain merchants from all over the country will reduce the price when they see that the grain cannot be sold.
Otherwise, the shipping cost and various expenses for a round trip alone are not something that can be easily afforded!
wonderful!
Wonderful!
"My little friend is a great talent!"
Finally, Pi Taiyu understood the whole process and gave Ning Mu a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.
He doesn't have to pay too much.
But it can solve the huge problem of disaster victims hanging over their heads!
You can even gain a lot of official reputation and prestige. If you handle it well, it is not impossible to use it to take control of the central government!
During this period of time, he has actually been in distress.
When Liu Qingmei came to him some time ago, he had indeed submitted a memorial to the court and was waiting for disaster relief from the court.
But just the day before yesterday, the Ministry of Revenue sent an urgent document at an express speed of 800 miles.
It's full of text.
But he only saw four words between the lines.
'Self-help in disaster relief.'
Although Yonghang Prefecture is a prosperous and wealthy place, there are hundreds of thousands of disaster victims. How could he sacrifice his life to provide relief?
So he was worried these two days.
He knew that once these disaster victims erupted, there was only one outcome waiting for him, becoming the only scapegoat for this unprovoked disaster!
"With your talent, it's really a waste to run a small brothel. If you can serve as an official in the court, you will surely be made a marquis and a prime minister in the future!"
At this moment, Pi Taiyu sincerely admired Ning Mu.
Finished!
Seeing Pi Taiyu's enthusiasm, He Daqian's heart sank to the bottom!
He knew that it was impossible to count on Yu Ji to persuade him and reject Ning Mu's proposal!
Although Pi Taiyu is lustful.
But compared with the official hat on his head, he could still tell which was heavier!
Ning Mu smiled ashamedly, waved his hand, and said: "Speaking of which, on the day of the Holy Sacrifice Festival, Yichunyuan will open for business. At that time, we will have to invite the governor and President He to come and give us guidance!"
"Don't worry, Lord Governor. Our Yichunyuan is not an ordinary brothel. Our main business is not the flesh trade of red-light district. Instead, we focus on a comprehensive club that allows people to relax and integrates leisure, health and entertainment!"
"Oh?"
When he heard about health and entertainment, Pi Taiyu's eyes suddenly lit up.
He smiled and nodded, saying, "In that case, I will definitely go and show my support when the time comes."
"Welcome with both hands!"
Ning Mu laughed.
Immediately, he looked at the Second Aunt and said, "Second Aunt, tell someone to serve the food and the wine!"
Now that we have finished our business, it’s time to eat and drink.
Soon, the wine and food were served.
"How about after the banquet tonight, the governor and President He go to Yichunyuan together to experience it before the opening?"
Ning Mu's eyes flashed with a sly light as he looked at Pi Taiyu and He Daqian.
He Daqian looked listless and showed little interest.
But Pi Taiyu readily agreed.
In order not to offend the prefect, He Daqian had no choice but to nod and agree.
"Don't worry, President He. You can sell all the food in your hands to me at the normal market price in the past."
Ning Mu said to He Daqian with a smile.
He Daqian was stunned.
He quickly raised his glass and drank it all!
You've already made a profit at the normal market price.
If we really wait until a few months later, a large amount of grain will be piled up in Yonghang, and by then the price of grain will have dropped to the bottom and will be worthless.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Several people left.
Liu Qingmei arranged for people to send Pi Taiyu and He Daqian to Yichunyuan.
Ning Mu also promptly arranged for the servant of Zuixianlou to call Yu Linglong over and told her to treat it with caution and make sure to do a good job on this first order.
All customized services are prepared, including foot washing and massage, sweat sauna, and even sex, so that these two can have a good experience.
In addition, prepare some more of the good wine for these two to take back.
After Pi Taiyu and He Daqian left.
in the room.
Only the drunken Ning Mu, Liu Qingmei and Tong Yuyue were left.
at last.
Liu Qingmei, with a flushed face, could no longer hold back her excitement. Regardless of Tong Yuyue's presence, she hugged Ning Mu's neck and kissed him on the cheek, leaving a bright red lip mark.
"awesome!"
“Xiao Mu, these wonderful ideas of yours are simply unheard of. It seems that you have done everything, but you have done nothing. Not only have you solved the problem of the disaster victims, but you have also made Governor Pi look up to you!”
"How did you come up with that?"
Liu Qingmei was extremely excited. Like a little woman, she hugged Ning Mu's neck and said excitedly.
Her voice was gentle and her eyes were full of adoration.
The flushed face after being drunk is like the most beautiful flower, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.
Snapped!
Ning Mu burped, his mind was in a daze, he hugged Liu Qingmei carelessly and patted her on the face.
Tong Yuyue, who drank the least, sat opposite, feeling at a loss as to what to do.
Looking at the state of this master and disciple, she was already in a daze...
What did you just see?
My husband's wife, Liu Qingmei, who is my master, actually hugged her male disciple and gave him a kiss on the face?
As a disciple, Ning Mu actually extended her evil claws to her master?
Are you sure you're not drunk?
Tong Yuyue shook her head vigorously, a look of disbelief on her face.
